Hi,

I posted this question two weeks ago and never got a reply.

This seems to be a problem with vnc.  I've only found when visiting one
particular web site, but it may well be a problem with other sites as
well.

Here's the original question:

Whenever I use vnc to access a browser on the linux server (Konquerer or
Netscape) and go to finance.yahoo.com, the browser (on the server)
freezes.

This happens when using either the Windows VNC client and a Windows
browser as a vnc client.  The vnc server is on Linux Mandrake 8.0 and
8.1.

When I run the browser from a local linux console, it works fine.  The
only problem is when running via vnc.

I tried to search the achieves but found nothing.

Anyone else see this?

Thanks,  Ed
